Crazy amounts of food. There was one of these tables going the other way too, double to food!

The reception hall, note the video crane.I really have no clue why I was able to go to this wedding other than Egyptians, especially the ones I have met, are incredibly generous, giving and into large groups.
The wedding took place at a huge hotel in Giza, where the pyramids are and no I have not seen them yet. Sad Face. Anyways, the wedding was amazingly huge. Two or three huge buffet tables, more like rows of tables. A cake which came down from the ceiling to be cut on stage with a saber by the bride and groom, three separate tables of different desserts, video cameras hovering over the crowd via a crane, a videographer, photographer, live music, a team of dancing boys/men, and two screens in the banquet room showing live crowd shots. Nuts.
Apparently there are three stages to an wedding. The gift giving, where the groom gives the bride something. The wedding, where they sign papers and are officially married. Finally the reception, where they are presented and can live together. That is what the guide books say at least. I know that there was a signing stage and I attended the reception, so partially true. What was also crazy-no alcohol. Yup!
Also men tended to dance in groups and women tended to surround the bride dancing, with the occasionally appearance by the groom or another male friend/family member.
